Their whole operation is odd.

The MMCs were supposed to be for the 391/392 and that was supposed to return to a full frequency once they recruited additional drivers. But they took on new TfGM contracts.

In the event they've agreed a change with TfGM to use larger vehicles on the 280 and 288, I don't understand why they aren't using a Metrocity on the 288. While the 288 doesn't need as many luggage racks as the Metrocities have, they are more useful on the 288 than on other routes.

Or an alternative reason could be the Orions are less well suited to the snow and ice, so they decided to keep them off the road in favour of the MMCs in the past week?
